Zeller, Smialek and Galli chase leader Benjamin Berta

Drexler-Automotive Formula Cup - Hockenheim

Just over a month after the Drexler Formula Cup races at the Lausitzring, the formula series heads to Hockenheim next weekend for round 5. The second half of the season kicks off at the 4.574-kilometre Hockenheimring. The Grand Prix circuit in the Baden region is one of the favourite circuits for the Formula 3 and Formula Light cars, if only because of its tradition. ‘After the exciting first half of the season, we now head to Hockenheim, which has hosted Formula 1 for many years. The Hockenheimring is always special. Formula 3 in Germany can look back on a great tradition in Baden,’ says coordinator Franz Wöss.
